STACK ROVING REPORTER

DVD BEST-SELLERS for NOVEMBER 2019

JB Launceston is primed for some heavy foot traffic over the Christmas period. “People will grab a sausage and then come in to JB for a look around. It’s been full on since last month and won’t be stopping anytime soon.” As to what will be hot in Tassie over the festive season, Madison says it’s all about box sets at the moment. “People like superhero stuff and a lot have been asking about the Marvel Infinity Saga set. And Game of Thrones is going to be major. The oldies also come in and get the Hallmark Christmas packs, which seem to sell really well each year.” 4K is also a major mover,

with the store carrying the biggest range of UHD titles in Launceston. “It’s taking over now, just like vinyl took over from CDs,” says Madison. When it comes to recommendations for customers, Madison reckons HBO is the way to go, and steers them towards the likes of Big Little Lies and Sharp Objects . “Everyone loves Downton Abbey here,” she adds, “so I point them towards shows like The Crown and Victoria .” Madison says her own tastes are mixed when it comes to movies. “I love horror, but then I’ll go and watch a musical like The Greatest Showman because I’m all about that soundtrack,“ she laughs. “I’m pretty much up for anything. I’ll watch anime and Dragon Ball Z – my partner has hooked me on that. “I really want to see Doctor Sleep at the cinema, because Mike Flanagan also directed The Haunting of Hill House TV series, which I loved. It’s also a sequel to The Shining – I need that in my life!” With an obvious love for film and TV, is Madison also a dedicated collector? “I try not to be, but it’s so hard here,” she laughs. “I’ll grab myself a steelbook so that I don’t regret it later when they’ve all sold out. I also have box sets of TV shows like Gilmore Girls , Buffy and Charmed, so they’re always there whenever I want to watch them.”
